Serverino works with priorities, that's the order the handlers 
are called! You're checks on handlers can easily filter request.





2) instead of doing:

```d
if (request.method != Request.Method.Get)
output.status = 405;
```

to determine the request method, why not use a UDA similar to 
`@route` ...like `@method(Request.Method.post)`? The use of UDA 
is so much cleaner and easier to deal with.




This works as well, indeed:
@route!(r => r.method == Request.Method.Post)



3) would be nice to have an `output.json()` function which both 
sets the response header and also calls `output.write()`


Just add content type and you're done!

4. I can't build anything significant in any http server 
library without support for middleware. Preferably support for 
multiple middlewares functions. A middleware would be a 
function that runs after the @onServerInit but BEFORE any route 
handler. It will be used to intercept all incoming requests for 
things like authentication, rate limiting, CORS, etc. 
Preferably provide a way to pass data to the target route e.g. 
user session, user permission, etc...like 
output.locals.set("userId", 123). The route will then be able 
to access this data.


Just use a high priority handler, check the tips on website, for 
example user auth.


That's a very clean way to add a layer of Auth, logging and so 
on...



All in all, everything else looks good. I would prefer 
something like:


```d
void hello (Request req, Response res) {
res.write("hello");
}
```
...but `Output` is also fine... just a small nitpick.


output.write() works as well.

Ready to dive in? Just spin up a new project using the provided 
template:


```
dub init -t serverino my_wonderful_project
cd my_wonderful_project
dub

And voilà! Your hello world will be up and running in **a

I'm a heavy user of big express (js) library and I like what I'm 
seeing. Looks simple and clean. Here are some suggestions:


1) I'm not sure I like concat (~=)
 style used on `Output output` and how it can determine the 
order routes are invoked. I would expect that to be explicitly 
defined by Dev using a catch-all route or else the sever returns 
404 by default. That's going to prevent the chances of invoking 
the wrong route especially when it does something 
important/dangerous/unexpected.
